  The optimization of photoinjectors is crucial for the successful operation of linac-based free electron lasers, and beam dynamics simulations have shown that ellipsoidal photocathode laser pulses result in significantly lower electron beam emittance than that of conventional cylindrical pulses. Therefore, in collaboration with the Institute of Applied Physics (Nizhny Novgorod, Russia) and the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia), a laser system capable of generating quasi-ellipsoidal laser pulses has been developed and installed at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The pulse shaping has been realized using the spatial light modulator technique, characterized by cross-correlation and spectrographic measurements, and is demonstrated with electron beam measurements. In this contribution the overall setup, operating principles, and results of first regular electron beam measurements will be presented together with corresponding beam dynamics simulations. Furthermore, the numerous improvements of the simplified re-design currently under construction shall be detailed.

The photoinjector of short electron bunches is a key element of investigations aimed on particle acceleration by pulses of the subpetawatt laser PEARL (10 J, 50-70 fs). The projected parameters of the photoinjector are an electron energy level of 5 MeV, a charge > 0.1 nC, a bunch length of about 3 mm, a transversal emittance no worse than 1 mm*mrad, and an energy spread no more than ~0.1%. The photoinjector is based on klystron KIU-111 at frequency 2.45 GHz, produced by company Toriy (output power ~ 5 MW, pulse length ~ 7 mcs, efficiency ~ 44%, power gain ~ 50 dB). It is proposed to use this klystron in order to feed the accelerating resonator of the classical design consisted of 1.5 cells in which the photocathode is inserted. On a base of third harmonics of a Ti:Sa laser, we plan to produce picosecond pulses of no less than 100 mcJ in energy. The photocathode is planned to be made of CVD diamond film which is not critical to vacuum degree and surface contamination, has high QE, a long lifetime, and is capable of being used with cheap, long wavelength optical lasers.
